Has anyone used webuyanycar.com before? a mate at work has had a quote from them to buy his KA. He's happy with the price he's been quoted, and considering taking his car, however he is a bit unsure as they take the car and V5 and then 3-4 days later he gets the money.
Just wondered if anyone has used them, and if they do pay up the agreed price or then haggle it down again a bit more? Can they be trusted to pay up?

I understood that they go over the car and see if it matches the description you gave online, then they cut you a cheque on the spot and you get the train home
They're part of Carcraft so reasonably big supermarket. I'd assume they're fairly safe but I'd want money in my hand or an IOU before leaving the car really

I'm surprised he's happy with their price - it's usually a fraction of the real trade price and then they still haggle once you turn up with it.Just wondered if anyone has used them, and if they do pay up the agreed price or then haggle it down again a bit more? Can they be trusted to pay up?

Are they the outfit that agree a price then knock the f
k out of it when they get the car as it's "not as described"?
Pretty much what i want to know really, REPOST or NOT!!! k out of it when they get the car as it's "not as described"?They give you a sale contract, and the money is transferred into your account within about 3 days. Once they have offered a price and signed the contract there is no further "haggling".
Having said that, I did have the chance for a quick browse around their existing stock. "Ratty" and "overpriced" do not come close.
They're fine.
If its a car that they can shift - IE something like a KA you'll get a decent enough offer for it, once you arrive at site, they'll have a look around it and if its as described then you'll get the offer. They may try to beat you down if they find anything wrong with it.
You get the money transferred accross by bank transfer.
People trying to shift specialist cars, or stuff they have had years and kept in pristine condition are gonna get derisory offers, the cars are of no use to the company.

Rumours are that Carcraft may have went into Administration yesterday!! Never had anything to do with them, but feel sorry for employess if it is true.
I got a price off them for my son's Ford Focus SE they phoned me a couple of days later,to say that they had checked with the DVLA and it turns out they say the car had two more owners than I said. I informed him that it hadnt and that i have the V5 to prove it,he said he wasnt interested as he goes off the DVLA so I asked him to fax me a copy of the DVLA report or whatever it was that he ahd got to say that.
He wouldn;t I said does that effect the price he said it does by a mere 500 to 1000 pounds i told him he could shove it uop his arse and put the phone down on him.

Scroll through the discussions. I wasn't aware there were previous rumours, apologies if I have got it all wrong, but better safe than sorry

I'd be confident to say that almost any decent car dealer in the land would match or better the price these jokers are offering....they are that....jokers.
agreed. ring a few local small garages and im sure you will get a better offer taking it off you quickly as its a good seller, cheap to run, good first time buy etcThere a bunch of wkers, offer st pries on the internet and when you get there they bring it down some more over superfical things. I would avoid and use a better company that offers closer to market prices e.g. http://www.partxsolution.com/ or give it a shot selling privately.
